# Update 1

Hey!!
Got seleceted for EPF cohort 5, very thankful for this opportunity, will try my best to get most out of this!!
## week 1 updates
completed all lectures of EPS, dived into these projects:

1. [Prysm libp2p migration](https://github.com/eth-protocol-fellows/cohort-five/blob/main/projects/project-ideas.md#prysm-custom-golang-implementation-of-libp2p)
2. [p2p debugger(EthPandaOps)](https://github.com/ethpandaops/tooling-wishlist/blob/master/open-ideas/p2p-debugger.md)
3. [EIP-7688: Forward Compatible Consensus Data Structures](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-7688)
4. [EIP-6493: SSZ Transaction Signature Scheme](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-6493)

* from the above projects I have decided to pursue libp2p migration of prysm, as I am very much interested in computer networking and p2p stack, I think this project will give me a great overview of complete consensus client stack.
* I researched on EIP-7688 and EIP-6493 and also attended the recent ACDC, and came to know that not all consensus clients have implemented this EIPs yet, for example 6493 is only implemented by Nimbus currently, so might try to implement this in some other clients as well

Apart from the above topics I researched deeply on PeerDAS, tracked the current changes in CL and EL clients and read following blogs and papers:
1. [PeerDAS](https://ethresear.ch/t/peerdas-a-simpler-das-approach-using-battle-tested-p2p-components/16541)
2. [SubnetDAS - an intermediate DAS approach](https://ethresear.ch/t/subnetdas-an-intermediate-das-approach/17169)
3. [FullDAS: towards massive scalability with 32MB blocks and beyond](https://ethresear.ch/t/fulldas-towards-massive-scalability-with-32mb-blocks-and-beyond/19529)
4. [From 4844 to Danksharding: a path to scaling Ethereum DA](https://ethresear.ch/t/from-4844-to-danksharding-a-path-to-scaling-ethereum-da/18046)
5. [DAS fork-choice](https://ethresear.ch/t/das-fork-choice/19578)
6. [PeerDAS fork-choice part 2](https://hackmd.io/@fradamt/peerdas-fc2)
7. [LossyDAS: Lossy, Incremental, and Diagonal Sampling for Data Availability](https://ethresear.ch/t/lossydas-lossy-incremental-and-diagonal-sampling-for-data-availability/18963)

I asked some client teams if I can contribute to PeerDAS related issues, but since it's included in Pectra, teams are willing to implement it themselves, but still I will keep track of all changes currently implemented.

## week 2 roadmap

* I am developing a keen inetrest in researching about ePBS and contribute to prysm to create implementation based on the already developed PoC, so will read about ePBS in week 2 extensively.
* will start developing proposal for libp2p migration of prysm.
* attend ACDC
